Ride On Again bikes on West Broadway in Kitsilano also has a very nice selection of older road and mountain bikes, from $100 an up. some are a bargain (especially when you know that it's been given a once over by a bike shop, and saves you a sometimes time wasting trip to see something from a craigslist ad).

I've recently moved over here from London with the girlfriend (who is from Vancouver originally). Depending on what kind of bike you want, there are a few places to look. Craigslist always seems to have stuff - but you won't save much money on a track bike if that's what you're looking for.
Because they've totally fallen from fashion, you can pick up a nice 1990s / early 2000s mountain bike for very little, between $50 and $200 ($200 will get you quite a lot of 90's steel MTB).I brought my own Gazelle road bike over from london, but am on the lookout for a mountain bike to mess about on as there are some really nice trails here; mostly in North Vancouver, but also some off-road sections around stanley park and other parts of the waterfront (have never seriously mountain biked, and have no illusions of being successful, but would be nice to mess around and worry less about breaking things).
Even if you don't end up doing much off-road, I feel like a steel/rigid mountain bike is great value all-rounder - they are so ubiquitous here that they're less likely to attract the attention of bike thieves, than say a 'fixie gear bike'. Especially when you lock up outside that cool new bar that's next door to that crack-hotel on East Hastings St (it might happen one day...).I'm also planning on using a mountain bike for some light touring on vancouver island / sunshine coast, which might be something you want to think about (the scenery is pretty incredible here, would be a shame not to do some longer rides).

Hey all, I'm posting this on behalf of my dad:
He is on the lookout for a Black circa 1930s Rudge Whitworth bicycle removed from the basement of the Oxo Tower building (south bank) between last thursday and saturday (12-14th Jan).
Strictly speaking it was unlocked, as all of the bikes 'unclaimed' bikes in the basement had been cut free as part of a clean up operation. But even though unlocked, it doesn't make them another's property.
There is some disagreement between my dad and the building management as they were cut free 48 hours earlier than the posted deadline, and as such my dad hadn't had time to remove it before the cut-free operation.I'm assuming that a lot of the bikes in the basement may have been taken en-masse by dealers or for parts? I know for a fact that the Rudge needed a bit of work doing, so it's unridable and probably sitting somewhere awaiting restoration or purchase right now.
Please shoot me a PM if anyone has any details; Would really appreciate any info as the bike has quite a strong sentimental value.
Cheers! -

SOLD
Very good condition, with all the original packaging and power supply.
Has a few minor scuffs to the wooden end panels, but aside from that its in great condition; never been gigged, only used from time to time.Sadly I've managed to loose the gooseneck mic for the vocoder - but never really found myself vocoding much anyway. You can line-in with any mic (which i'm sure would be much better quality than the stock Korg one anyway) or other sound source.
Don't have the manual, but PDFs are available off of the Korg site.
SOLD
